Ha guys. I'm new a this site, so I thought I would try to post a photo of a gate I'm making for my shop. It's about 12' wide and 7' tall. Made the outline from 3/8' x 1" flat bar filled in with 16 ga. sheet metal. Hammerd the face from 16 ga. sheet also. I'm still working on the feathers, and plan on painting it red with 3/8" gold outline. It should turn some heads as they drive by. Drop me a note, and let me know what you thank. So here we go, hope this works. LOL
 Hope you enjoy it, as much as i did making it.
